Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of the study is cellular oxygen availability in skin (mitoPO2 in mmHg) and its differential response to RBC transfusion compared to fluid challenge. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Determine the cutaneous oxygen availability in relation to Hb level before and after a fluid challenge of 500 ml of normal saline. * Determine the cutaneous oxygen availability in relation to Hb level before and after a blood transfusion. * Determine the change in cutaneous oxygen availability by a fluid challenge of 500 ml of normal saline. * Determine the change in cutaneous oxygen availability by a blood transfusion. * Explore the clinical usability of the COMET monitor in blood transfusion treatments. | — |
